A Rare Arizona Bird.

Troy Times.
The "Devil- hawk" of Arizona is rare
bird, and an interesting one. He is dis
cribed as having a remarkably handsome
plumage, but very ugly head. His talon
are long and strong, and his beak is al
most as sharp as needle and very power
full. This bird, but for his head, when on
the wing would pass for pigeon. When
seeking his prey he plays pigeon, and flies
in among the birds unnoticed on account
of his similarity, and easily captures what
he wants. He is the picture of grace and
beauty and speed. 1t is estimated that
there are not more than dozen of these
hawks in the Territory. The Mexicans
are superstitious about them, and regard
the appearance of one as an evil omen.
